When you arrive for the first time on the doorstep of what could possibly be your home for the next year, the office manager at the Dallas apartment complex is going to do everything he or she can to sell you this property. They will gush about the units, crow about the amenities and rave about the location. It is up to you to ask questions and look for things that might reveal that this place isn’t all its cracked up to be. Here are a few key things to look for when you are touring your next apartment complex or building.
Maintenance is absolutely the most important part of your new apartment complex. Ensuring that things get fixed in a timely manner is very much connected to the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of the place you live, so if you’re driving around or walking to an empty suite and you notice garbage on the ground, burnt out light bulbs and a general feeling that the place is unkempt, you probably want to keep looking.
The same goes for when you get inside your unit. Don’t just look for how clean the empty suite is, but also at the quality of the paint, carpet, the state of the fixtures and everything else. If something seems out of place, ask and then you can judge the quality of the answers. Remember, once you sign a lease, you belong to that apartment and that apartment complex. This is your only chance to ask tough questions.
